An official document in one country is not automatically recognized in another. For this reason, you must first legalize your documents before being able to use them abroad.
Legalization certifies the origin of the document. It is an official confirmation of the authenticity of the signature, the stamp, or the seal of the official who has signed, issued, or legalized the document.
Multiple legalizations – in a specific order – are often required.
Legalization of Belgian documents can solely be done in Belgium.
The Embassy of Belgium in the UAE is only authorized to legalize documents issued in the UAE.
You can check what is applicable in your situation via the search tool on legalization.
For the cost of a legalization at the embassy, please refer to our consular fees.
